I wish I could be as optimistic as you.Its pretty crazy to watch elon and doge give us our republic back. This is just the beginning. Once they start tracking where the money went, its going to get very juicy.

DC plane crash prompts airline pilot's heartfelt announcement to passengers before takeoff
An American Airlines pilot has gone viral after telling passengers he has "no higher calling" than "carefully" transporting them to their destination following the tragic crash in D.C.www.foxnews.com
Give the money to parents as a voucher to use at the school of their choice. Base the amount given for each kid on parents income tax return.Keep sucking the teat of the rich. Cutting the Department of Education will make the lower and middle classes suffer. Most of the money for education will go to private schools of learning while the public schools will be even more underfunded if they're funded at all.
A big part of that is all the immigrant kids today who don't speak English.American student performance has been abysmal since the USED was created.
You’re wrong, again.
Have you ever been to a Costco or Sam's club between the 1st and tenth of the month?
I can assure you, poor people are better off now. Maybe not health wise, based on what I see in those overstuffed carts. Which also explains their lower lifespan, if that fact is even accurate.
Rfk would have stroke seeing what I see in those shopping carts, and the cows pushing them usually weigh over 300 pounds each.
And we're all paying for it.

haha. Trudeau just posted this.
Trudeau: "In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering.
I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million. Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together."
It refuses congressional oversight so either open the books or shut it down. It's OUR money not theirs.no you'd do it over time but small amounts are not going to do anything. If I owed 140k me cutting a few pennies or dollars isn't going to anything at all. It's just a waste of resources.
Yeah, that's the Dave Ramsey method and even he would say it's a waste of resources to focus on a few dollars when you can focus on cutting bigger expenses. Like say you had 1000 $2 expenses for a total of $2,000 in debt, versus a handful of $500 dollar debts for $2,500. The latter is 25% more money erased through 200x less work. That's efficiency.
Some things shouldn't be cut though, like USAID. The amount of soft power that org gives us for only a 40b/year investment. With us gutting that, China can just swoop in and get that soft power we just had.
I mean do you see what's going on atm. Employees are blocked from going into the USAID building. They received emails saying to not come to work. Musk and a bunch of 19 to 24 year old's are doing who knows what and we're letting them get away with it.
Nickels & dimes don't float my boat.Folks I can't keep up with all this WINNING!!!!
The Medicare part will big fish, but Trump swears he's not touching it. We need a big Pentagon, just not a wasteful one.That’s coming. You don’t seem to get it.
Wait until the squealing from the Pentagon and Medicare begin.
Right/wrong, heard it's for buying TikTok.I am opposed to a U.S. sovereign wealth fund. The federal government’s returns should come through tax policy and a healthy economy, not investments in companies.
The truly poor are at Walmart where no membership or ID is necessary & where you can buy in small portions.Have you ever been to a Costco or Sam's club between the 1st and tenth of the month?

So far the tariffs appear to be about drugs/fentanyl & maybe illegal immigration, not economic issues.Country is gonna need to borrow a lot more $$$ if Trump trashes the economy with stupid tariffs.
Isn't that pretty much true of all Fed employees?A house of cards is coming down.
If you are OK ignoring the $4T+ for Medicare & SS, as Trump & apparently MAGA (since what Trump says goes for them) are, OK. But not me.
CNN still talking about the Elon 'nazi salute' TONIGHT on February the 3rd.
Jake Tapper, recently at the center of CNN losing a massive defamation lawsuit nods along, then says no one has heard from Elon about "what exactly it was."
They are STILL going with this stuff. They have nothing else.
Also, sounds like more defamation suits may need to be filed.
Biden had already worked out a similar deal with Canada and Mexico before leaving office... without causing chaos in the markets and supply chains.So far the tariffs appear to be about drugs/fentanyl & maybe illegal immigration, not economic issues.
@TheFrontRunner , @augustaky1 , @screwduke1 ...
Me, Augy, and Front got an invite to visit the Screw. He gave us the street name and told us to look for the yellow vette in the drive. We got to the street but never did see this "vette", however on our last pass down the road Screw was standing in the driveway. I told him I never seen a yellow vette, he said sure and pointed at this. He said I never meant CORvette, I have a CHEvette. We just shook our head..
I think sometimes I'm in the revenge of the nerd's movie, Front tools around in a pacer, Screw in his vette, and Augy in that lost in space mobile. I'm not complaining because they are my ride to the taco bell!

Was either ever implemented?Biden had already worked out a similar deal with Canada and Mexico before leaving office... without causing chaos in the markets and supply chains.
It's idiotic grandstanding devoid of any diplomacy.

That's great till there aren't any roofers, agriculture workers etc.Now they are down to less than 100.
Pushed and push-started many a Shovette back in the day
So illegal immigration is good?That's great till there aren't any roofers, agriculture workers etc.
Time will tell whether this is in our best interest.
Imo... It would be much better to pass new immigration laws that deal with ASYLUM and streamline the process for those that want to work and remain legal/crime free.
We need immigrants whether some of y'all like it or not.
Social Security will collapse without younger workers contributing to it.
Are you telling us that you must pay off the 140K all in one big bite? No, so you reduce the debt gradually. I would work on the debt that is costing me the highest interest rate first, whether highest or lowest.
Was either ever implemented?
The huge drop in immigration Biden's last few months would indicate so.... But don't know that for a fact.Biden had already worked out a similar deal with Canada and Mexico before leaving office... without causing chaos in the markets and supply chains.

Article from Mexico is from 2021. Did it ever happen? Just curious.
Biden didn’t serious until he realized it was a major political issue.The huge drop in immigration Biden's last few months would indicate so.... But don't know that for a fact.
Canada just announced their intention in December so it probably hadn't.
